Update: A horse named Ozzie that went missing after a massive horse barn caught fire Friday evening has been found near Orilla.

The fire started around 5:30 p.m. at the Maffitt Lake Equestrian Center near Cumming and could be seen from Interstate 35 and Mills Civic Parkway in West Des Moines.

The building is owned by Tim and Libby Hott, and Melinda Antisdel.

Neighbors told KCCI that 29 horses were inside the barn when the fire started. One horse died in the fire. Another stallion is being treated at the Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine.

Kyle Muckler, a head trainer at the center, told KCCI that Ozzie was found and is being taken back to the Maffitt Lake Equestrian Center showgrounds.

More than 100 volunteers helped search for the horses that ran down Maffitt Lake Road.

"Within a matter of 10 minutes, so many people from the horse community showed up with buckets with halters with lead ropes, anything," Libby Hott said. "They said, 'What can we do? What can we do?' So we were catching horses that were loose."

Officials said they are unsure what caused the fire and were concerned the flames would spread because a gas tank is located nearby. Crews had to haul in water via tanker trucks because there were no fire hydrants in the area.

The 8,000-square-foot building is considered a total loss.

Grahm Construction staff are pitching in to convert the horse show facility into a temporary home, working early Saturday to enclose the stalls so the horses can keep warm during the winter.

"Through tragedy, Iowa nice people come together, you might even say competitors in this business of horses," said Steve Hauschilt, president of Grahm Construction. "Everyone is just reaching out to help their peers. It's amazing to be a part of."

Family friends like veterinarian Dr. R. Dixon Appel came out to help check the health of the horses after they escaped.

"The people in the barn are a family, and everybody jumped in all the horse facilities last night," Appel said. "There were nine horse trailers here, and people just scouring the countryside. It was marvelous. It's really heartening to see them."

The family said it means the world to them that so many people are lending a helping hand after the devastation."I'm speechless because we just all love these animals so much that we would do anything for them," Libby Hott said.

The equestrian center is known for its horse shows and housing animals.

The Northern Warren, West Des Moines and Norwalk Fire departments responded to the scene.

Emily Pope, a friend of the Antisdel and Hott family, created a GoFundMe page to help the owners of the barn recover from the losses and care for the displaced horses. To donate, go to https://www.gofundme.com/maffitt-lake-recovery-fund.
